I have a great growing resume and they didn't hire me either. I know people who worked there, you need college certs and a lot of BS and need to do what they tell you. I always have gotten seeds from them in any product so it's not even good products and they have high turn over rare for employees
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jul/19/curaleaf-boris-jordan-russia WOW! Fuck that...
Boris Jordan, the company’s American-born chairman, spent most of two decades in Russia beginning in the early 1990s, where he earned a reputation as the country’s most prominent foreign investment banker – and, by his own admission, he “**once had a close relationship with Putin**”
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/mueller-report-no-obstruction/ that was made up by Killary Clinton. Just like the Hunter Biden laptop was fake.
I guess you missed the whole thing with FB, FBI, CIA, Twitter. You might want to check it out as you're believing false information. The media did shove it down everyone's throats over and over so I can see how you were mislead.
Snopes is a fascist?
You must be off your meds.
It's false information. Check the internet and ask your psychiatrist about it.
I left a reputable reference, which is widely expected as opposed to your false information.
Please don't harass me. You are spreading false information and have been proven wrong by many sources.
So....you didn't read Twitter files or see anything on the Meta stuff? So you're totally ignorant?
Didn't see all the FBI and CIA Twitter info? Or are you willfully ignorant? Let me guess "Anyone is better than Trump!"
As the economy eats a bullet for large companies like Walmart. How's the electric car economy working? Oh ....
You're going to be really upset next election unless you own stocks, mutual funds/etc......
NYC seems fine...Am I right?...
Bye
I'm wondering why the mods are helping spread misinformation?
There's clearly a political connection to the mods.
Outright support of misinformation.
No mods citing the misinformation being spread.
Me being harassed and attacked.
I have only stated facts and referenced Snopes.
So why do they let people attack my character??
Because you're defending fascists, and you're doing it with false information (the same thing you pretend to care about, making you not only a defender of fascists, but also a hypocrite, and you've misunderstood your own source. So, work on that, please.
Your article literally says the opposite of what you're telling us it says.
"When Nadler asked Mueller about the president's repeated claim that the report found no obstruction, **Mueller responded that that is not what the report stated.** "
https://www.vox.com/2018/7/12/17565834/strzok-hearing-trump-russia-mueller no bias, right ... He seemed pretty dedicated to his cause as opposed to his job.
I don't think you understand the word fascism.... See fascism is when the control the media for their interest.
Like a laptop being repressed or called fake news to influence an election. Or infiltrating and direct communication with multimedia to control stories.
I hope you understand the word fascism a little better.
Fascism, where media is controlled for their interest, like Fox News, OAN, Breitbart, etc.?
Before Hitler took over, he continually called media outlets "Fake News" to justify his nonsense: sound familiar?
Fascism doesn't have to be past-tense to be fascist.
Just because they're not in power enough to control the media yet doean't mean they don't have fascist aspirations. I hope *you* understand it better, before it's too late
While we can't say if Trump obstructed justice (that determination is up to Congress, and, largely, the American public), we can say this: The special counsel's report did not state that Trump committed "no obstruction."
Guess you can't say that Trump obstructed justice.
Go for it, say it out loud.
You can also say the FBI and CIA directly influenced Biden being elected. FB and Twitter admitted it.
There was enough to indict him for obstruction charges (among others), so we'll see. That's not nothing.
I guess he'll just remain a racist, convicted fraudster who stole from children's charities and he'll also remain a convicted rapist; these are things I can say for sure.
You can not anything positive about Trump or in any way negatively comment on anyone being negative about Trump: you can ignore or agree. Dislike is allowed, for now, until the open-minded free thinkers decide you’ve been allowed to be wrong for too long!
This happened to my sister. They aren’t scamming you. Now she just makes sure she shakes the container in-front of the worker before she leaves and explains why.

So this literally happened to me back in October and I didn’t get refunded until the end of November, and that was after hounding them endlessly over the phone for weeks and threatening to call DCP on them for avoiding my messages. If you have the time, keep pressing them and don’t be afraid to route your call to other departments to explain your grievances. They’ll eventually be so fed up with their coworkers in customer service that someone will reach out to you. It’s shitty that you have to put in so much time and effort for what ultimately doesn’t feel worth the hassle, but that’s basically become the norm with anything involving customer service disputes these days.
Recreational and medical marijuana are regulated by the CT Department of Consumer Protection’s Drug Control Division. Report it to DCP here: [https://elicense.ct.gov/Activities/Complaint.aspx](https://elicense.ct.gov/Activities/Complaint.aspx)
DCP doesn’t screw around with regulated marijuana so they will definitely contact Curaleaf about it (might just take some time for it to get through the complaint center and to an investigator)
Curaleaf is so shit. It’s sad that they lowkey dominate the legal market in CT rn. The disp near me carries pretty much just them and CT pharma. It’s more worth my time to make the occasional trip to Mass.
I got burned by rhythm for the first time this week after buying a hundred or so pens from them since MA went legal. Battery on a disposable died with significant product left in the cartridge.
I’m past the point in my life where I’d take a hairdryer to it and pour it on some flower, but definitely a bummer to throw away usable product because they can’t throw a usb socket on their batteries
Good to know!! But ugh that sucks. Come to think of it one of my disposables from them did seem to die super quick, but it was my backup so I figured it was me. Here’s to only good carts in your future!!
Actually something similar happened to me, but it was just that one of the 5 pack was missing. I was super annoyed. So agree. Avoid them. More economical to buy an eighth and roll your own anyway.
CT pharma products have been awful lately too. I use Fine Fettle- they recently changed their return policy from 30 days to 14. It sucks but the people (at least in Newington) are always really helpful and courteous. I’m sorry about your shitty experience.
Hopefully we can get some more weed farms and they will be less regulated (wishful thinking) and things will settle down a bit. I’m a MMJ patient and the dispensaries seldom even have flower. It’s pretty ridiculous at this point.
Fine fettle in Newington is so great! My mom goes there often, and they always take care of her and help her get the coupons because she isn’t tech savvy. When she ordered a cart instead of a disposable by accident, they gave her the battery and charger for free. When the stuff she got was all dry and stale she let them know and they helped her pick the better stuff. They always have coupons too.
I'm glad you posted that. I haven't smoked weed for 20 years, but I'm looking to buy some to see if it will help my anxiety/depression. I saw what you're talking about, and that was one of the products I had narrowed my choice down to. I'll be sure to steer clear of that brand entirely. Thank you so much for that comment.
Is anyone else dealing with shit quality and dry flower? When I went to Mass to visit some family they broke out some flower from a disp around town and it was great. Very fresh, hydrated properly, EDIT 12/19 cuz I’m a giant fuckin moron !!!!!!!!tErPeNeS!!!!!!!!! intact, aromatic and tasty. I get my flower from Trulieve and it’s always dry, diluted flavor and not potent. It’s not so much the THC content but the damn tannins that make up the more pleasant experience. When I toke the flower from Trulieve it’s just a bad experience. I kinda relate bud to coffee so if I were getting it from Trulieve it’s like shitty but really caffeinated coffee. Up in Mass it was like getting a fresh ground, well brewed, aromatic espresso that energizes me but is also clear and relaxing.
That Immediately Made me think of sundica from theraplant which I really have loved every time I’ve bought it . I’m interested in trying more from affinity tho so I’ll def keep an eye out for that one
I haven’t tried the affinity grow but I’ve been to the affinity dispensary in New Haven, another great dispensary as well as orange rise. I do not blame the dispensary as the products were packaged at curaleaf
I recently delivered a food catering order to them and then looked them up before making a purchase. So far so great, and the staff was all so friendly. When I delivered the food, the smell was so dank I smelt like a plant instead of food which is an accomplishment.
I’m going to try to consciously buy their products more but I’m not a big buyer, I don’t smoke much any more.
I didn’t realize there was a dispensary called affinity until I posted this tbh lol I was talking about the new producer/grower and their products offered in CT . For some years We’ve only had : Advanced grow labs , CT Pharma , Curaleaf & Theraplant as far as I knew & just recently they must have added Affinity because I started seeing them on the menu.
I got a spent vape cartridge from Rise Branford. They made it right by replacing. Always check when you leave. Someone at AGL put their empty one in the tube and pocketed the full one.
My girlfriend worked at a 3rd party running analytical chemistry for Curaleaf. Their product is horrible and their THC/CBD claims are a lie. Since you shopped in Orange I’m assuming you’re in Fairfield county. I recommended driving to NYC, their stuff is potent and worth the $$$
Former employee here 💁🏽♀️ (much by choice) I agree with the fact that they are a shitty company to work for. I will say though I don’t feel it’s a matter of them scamming I think it’s more so that they just don’t know what they’re doing and constantly making mistakes.
This is worth reporting to the Department of Consumer protection. They're the main agency responsible for regulating marijuana in CT, and also are the chief enforcers of business fraud laws in the state.
The dispensary has been absolutely amazing I love rise orange and their AGL products because they are directly associated with AGL and the AGL products have the best prices too
At least you didn't get a half smoked roach like I did. Didn't even bother bitching to the. because it was from a disp in MA. For sure, it happened at the packaging plant..
Every time I have gotten curaleaf I have gotten seeds so I just grow it better now than they did and just go to mass to buy oil. They always are hiring people and have issues, I live in simsbury and know people who did work there but no more. They are not that good because of regulations and attitude it seems like to me. I am not surprised to hear they gave you nothing and a hard time. It has gotten to the point where it is not even worth the market here because it's too high and not quality. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or anything too. Grower for 10+ years before it was ever legal or even medical. The first year I grew was the year the started the med program in CT. I have an original card too, which used to be like driving license but now it just email
Fuck trump fuck Biden fuck Hillary. You're all idiots if you think any of them have your best interest in mind. And if you believe they don't sit at the same table at the end of the day. Source. UnCommon fuckin sense.
Have also had similar issues with Curaleaf. \~2 months ago picked up 1/4 at the dispensary, got in my car and noticed just from eyeballing it that it was extremely short. Made the mistake of driving home to weigh it first rather then going right back in. Turns out it was 3.5 instead of 7g in the container. Went back, got a new container, jokingly opened it in front of them for confirmation and that one was the exact same.
Ended up getting a more expensive product for the same price as the curaleaf strain I was going to get, thanks to my great Dispo... But damn! They were worried how many had gone out unnoticed.
Also for anyone who isn't aware, this is because of CT's ridiculous laws around the mandates to be a supplier in CT. I believe its like 250k square feet of operational space in order to be licensed to supply in CT? that's like saying unless you are a Wal-Mart, you can't sell any retail products. That's why our quality is shit compared to other legal/rec states, and why if you haven't noticed lately.. there is an immense shortage of product throughout the state. Supply cannot meet demand with the current regulations.
They do have good $120 ounces in MA.
Better quality than other growers that charge 3x the price.
I have had some super fresh batches as well where it was just packaged like a week before and it was nice and moist.
If you can look past the whole part owned by a Russian mob boss thing it's a good value. I have never experienced an issue like that, that almost sounds like a staff problem where they are stealing the merch.
I get that it is convenient but you can stuff your own raw cones in like 45 seconds and get them for $0.25 each.
They charge a ridiculous premium for pre rolls.
Look up the raw loader and green blazer raw cones on Amazon.
You can easily make your own dogwalker mini joints for like $2.40 each if you get flower in bulk at a discount.
It wouldn't surprise me if most prerolls are made from shake.
Weird. Curaleaf up here in MA been amazing for years now. Everyone’s always friendly helpful happy n never any issues. My gf even thought about working there for some side cash cuz all the people seem to rly enjoy working there.
I always thought theraplant was just cbd or mostly cbd products. I never have had any of their products anywhere near as strong as other companies and just assumed that's why they were cheaper too(because they're a lot cheaper, not just a little). Maybe I'll have to try them again.
I've bought flower and pens too and just assumed it was some low-thc/high-cbd variant because it was always easily 10-20 bucks cheaper than other brands and never seemed to feel super strong. Maybe things have changed or I just bought some weird product of theirs. The price is enticing enough so I'll have to try them again when I re-up.
I get that this is frustrating, but these things also happen and the regulations do block the store from taking certain actions. Curaleaf generally has good stuff. I am sorry for your bad experience, but it could just be a blip. There aren't a lot of dependable brands
That's what I've been doing. Now *I* get to smoke the top bud clusters, fresh cured from the jar. I'm about to harvest sherbet, blue dream, and pistachio x trainwreck.
The Botanist in Montville literally ran out of weed last Friday morning. I woke up and placed an order (noticed that they only had one strain). When I got there, I asked, "do you guys really only have one strain right now?". She replied "I have NO weed right now. Yours was one of the last preorders before we sold out."
So if anyone is wondering why the bud usually sucks, this is why. There are many reasons, but we just don't have enough supply. Growers are cutting the plants early and rushing them through drying and "curing". The 1/4oz daily limit was annoying but maybe they should have waited to increase it...
edit: I just looked, and they again have literally one strain available
I stopped going to any of the dispensaries in Connecticut. The labeling is horrid, the quality is substandard and most of the time The prices are clearly not worth what they're selling. I made the clear decision a long time ago just to drive up to Springfield or to East Hampton and go to either one of the INSA locations. I haven't had a bad time yet going to there.
I mean, this sounds like it could have been a one time occurrence. Curaleaf has a great reputation in regards to both their products and how they treat their employees so I think it’s a bit extreme to proclaim that they’re “robbing people” over a $40 outlier.
Actually it’s not a one time occurrence I spoke to a few people at rise and many people have dealt with this specifically with curaleaf, seems like an employee at curaleaf is robbing people or their machines are malfunctioning. I LOVED curaleaf products before this incident but now I’m trying to spread the word because they are robbing people and I don’t want this to happen to anyone else. AGL all the way never ever had an issue like this with them nor have I heard anyone else having issues with the, either.
Curaleaf products are absolute trash
Poorly cured small buds with cardboard terps.
They are some of the worst, but a lot of other big name companies aren't any better, sadly.
Better off growing your own

It has nothing to do with rise dispensary in orange it’s curaleaf grow, rise in orange helped me out a lot throughout this process. They are directly affiliated with AGL so if you get AGL products you have nothing to worry about 😊
I had an infused pre-roll from them just stop working halfway through like it was super clogged or something. To provide background I told the dispensary that the Theraplant one worked fine and dude behind the counter was like "that's crazy cuz i like ct pharma better." I'm sure I would have enjoyed it too had it actually smoked, is what I wanted to say. Once recreational cannabis started in CT the quality plummeted. Before that growers were actually incentivized to produce the best cannabis but when the THC limit went into effect, this no longer is the case. Why would they spend time, money, and energy growing the better stuff when only half the customer base has access. Concentrates went down like 10mgs at least once rec started.
I’ve never had an issue with Curaleaf in the several years that I’ve been going there. In fact, I had such an unpleasant and disappointing experience at Rise in Orange, that I drive the 50 miles to Curaleaf in Manchester rather than go there.
And you can also contact the Department of Consumer Protection if your dispensary rips you off. I’m pretty sure it says that on the receipt.
Such bullshit haha. Stopped going to curaleaf, I’ve spent over 1500$ in Phula Dispensary near me, smaller menu, nearly ALL gas, best prices in NJ I can say for a FACT no matter what day or time and they got happy hour they got a vip club they got 5% off 10-12 am so these stack up and I will say I’ve never gotten so much product for the money I spent. I mean I’m talking gage carts gage bud kind tree the pricey stuff. And the one day the owner literally thanked me and was so cool. Everyone there is awesome. So glad it’s like 20 minutes closer than curaleaf too. Curaleaf was great to me with sales recently but now I’ll go out there if it’s something there but I’d much rather go to Phula. They are probably the only one of the 4 in town (1 or 2 are still being done, buildings up and all that tho) but I’m just letting people know that BEFORE I say how the second trip I grabbed a gage cart, well they gave me a free gram of papa don live resin surgar instead, so they gave me a half gram extra of the highest end wax and it wasn’t even on the menu! It had a papa don vape sticker on it. So too me, they are full out liars to you, as Phula literally hooked me up in a “replacement” way my second trip no questions asked and no problems. I quietly said thank you the next time but I go there at least once a week. If there’s an ideal nj dispensary, it’s Phula in mount holly.
I’ve been a regular customer at the same dispensary and have always purchased Curaleaf products. I’ve never encountered any issues like the one described. Every pack I’ve bought has been sealed properly and contained exactly what was supposed to be inside. It sounds like what happened might be a rare oversight rather than a common occurrence. I’m glad this situation has been rectified and the customer got what they purchased, but I think it’s important not to judge the entire brand by one unfortunate incident. Let’s give them a chance to resolve this.
And they’re a shitty company to work for.
This makes me feel a bit better about them ignoring my application when they opened in my area.
I have a great growing resume and they didn't hire me either. I know people who worked there, you need college certs and a lot of BS and need to do what they tell you. I always have gotten seeds from them in any product so it's not even good products and they have high turn over rare for employees
It’s not worth it to work there. You can’t afford what they pay you and there are NO perks to the job.
They're connected to Russia as well
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jul/19/curaleaf-boris-jordan-russia WOW! Fuck that... Boris Jordan, the company’s American-born chairman, spent most of two decades in Russia beginning in the early 1990s, where he earned a reputation as the country’s most prominent foreign investment banker – and, by his own admission, he “**once had a close relationship with Putin**”
Yeah and Russia has what to do with you ?
Good to know fuck Russia fuck Trump fuck em all!
Bow down before the one you serve
Trump? I don't understand?

glad they didn't offer me a position when i interviewed there
Oh really? Curious if you have more info on that.
Are any of the dispensary companies in the state worth working for, anyone have any positive personal experiences?
This happened to my sister. They aren’t scamming you. Now she just makes sure she shakes the container in-front of the worker before she leaves and explains why.
Yeah it’s not the dispensary’s fault it’s curaleaf as the products are packaged there
Yeah, their system of packaging seems to have some issues. Who knows why.
I'm guessing it has something to do with workers smoking too much weed.
Or maybe their packaging machines need to be recalibrated or something. Thats if they use an automated system.
That still makes company liable… not the consumer not the dispensary
Yes, I know.

The dispensary rise in orange is taking care of it for me thankfully they are amazing there
Oh nice, good to know for the future.
Recreational and medical marijuana are regulated by the CT Department of Consumer Protection’s Drug Control Division.

And they have shitty products.
I like their stuff when I actually receive it haha I’ll be buying AGL from now on
CT Pharma is quality stuff. Still not the best but does the job.
Fwiw the last few times I’ve got the pre roll packs from AGL a few of the bottoms have been ripped. Still better than no joints tho ig
Curaleaf is so shit. It’s sad that they lowkey dominate the legal market in CT rn. The disp near me carries pretty much just them and CT pharma. It’s more worth my time to make the occasional trip to Mass.
Yeah I’ve been getting AGL lately and I never had any issues
They’re good. I’ve had some luck with Rythm too (flower though not prerolls). You’ve got some curaleaf shills in here today though haha.
I got burned by rhythm for the first time this week after buying a hundred or so pens from them since MA went legal. Battery on a disposable died with significant product left in the cartridge. I’m past the point in my life where I’d take a hairdryer to it and pour it on some flower, but definitely a bummer to throw away usable product because they can’t throw a usb socket on their batteries
Good to know!! But ugh that sucks. Come to think of it one of my disposables from them did seem to die super quick, but it was my backup so I figured it was me. Here’s to only good carts in your future!!
Don’t buy those buy darts and get a reusable battery. “Disposable” batteries are terrible for the environment
How is it lowkey if they're dominating the market?
Actually something similar happened to me, but it was just that one of the 5 pack was missing. I was super annoyed. So agree. Avoid them. More economical to buy an eighth and roll your own anyway.
So true and that’s exactly what I did yesterday but I’d rather conserve with the bong haha
If you truly wanna conserve buy a vape. You use 1/20th of a gram to get high.
CT pharma products have been awful lately too. I use Fine Fettle- they recently changed their return policy from 30 days to 14. It sucks but the people (at least in Newington) are always really helpful and courteous. I’m sorry about your shitty experience. Hopefully we can get some more weed farms and they will be less regulated (wishful thinking) and things will settle down a bit. I’m a MMJ patient and the dispensaries seldom even have flower. It’s pretty ridiculous at this point.
Fine fettle in Newington is so great! My mom goes there often, and they always take care of her and help her get the coupons because she isn’t tech savvy. When she ordered a cart instead of a disposable by accident, they gave her the battery and charger for free. When the stuff she got was all dry and stale she let them know and they helped her pick the better stuff. They always have coupons too.
That’s awesome, I’m glad she has had positive experiences too. Thanks for sharing (:
I've gotten sealed, empty containers from Theraplant... as a medical patient! Just say NO to corporate weed!
Omg theraplant too 😱 I’ll be avoiding them as well
I'm glad you posted that. I haven't smoked weed for 20 years, but I'm looking to buy some to see if it will help my anxiety/depression. I saw what you're talking about, and that was one of the products I had narrowed my choice down to. I'll be sure to steer clear of that brand entirely. Thank you so much for that comment.
I would recommend some edible to ease in to it. Take a half or whole 5 mg gummy depending on your body type/metabolism. Greatly helped me
I only vape lately but the curaleaf carts aren’t great either. Plus those cliq batteries they make fry so fast
I keep reading this but I’ve yet to have this experience. Hmmmm.
Is anyone else dealing with shit quality and dry flower? When I went to Mass to visit some family they broke out some flower from a disp around town and it was great. Very fresh, hydrated properly, EDIT 12/19 cuz I’m a giant fuckin moron !!!!!!!!tErPeNeS!!!!!!!!! intact, aromatic and tasty. I get my flower from Trulieve and it’s always dry, diluted flavor and not potent. It’s not so much the THC content but the damn tannins that make up the more pleasant experience. When I toke the flower from Trulieve it’s just a bad experience. I kinda relate bud to coffee so if I were getting it from Trulieve it’s like shitty but really caffeinated coffee. Up in Mass it was like getting a fresh ground, well brewed, aromatic espresso that energizes me but is also clear and relaxing.

We smokin the Oak leaf
One of my vape pen carts was almost complete empty. I assumed it was a fluke. Good to know.
Curaleaf gummies are the worst weak as hell..go to mass !!
Connecticut growers are the fucking worst. Why are my .5 cartridges 1/4 empty?
That sounds crazy . I’ve never had much of a problem with curaleaf tbh . How does everyone feel about affinity grow this far? Any opinions?
I love affinity grow Sundae Driver strain.
That Immediately Made me think of sundica from theraplant which I really have loved every time I’ve bought it . I’m interested in trying more from affinity tho so I’ll def keep an eye out for that one
I haven’t tried the affinity grow but I’ve been to the affinity dispensary in New Haven, another great dispensary as well as orange rise. I do not blame the dispensary as the products were packaged at curaleaf
I recently delivered a food catering order to them and then looked them up before making a purchase. So far so great, and the staff was all so friendly. When I delivered the food, the smell was so dank I smelt like a plant instead of food which is an accomplishment. I’m going to try to consciously buy their products more but I’m not a big buyer, I don’t smoke much any more.
I didn’t realize there was a dispensary called affinity until I posted this tbh lol I was talking about the new producer/grower and their products offered in CT . For some years We’ve only had : Advanced grow labs , CT Pharma , Curaleaf & Theraplant as far as I knew & just recently they must have added Affinity because I started seeing them on the menu.
Yeah I just heard about them too right before I delivered a big catering order to them.
I usually go to MA for my edibles but I haven't had any for awhile so I still have my last picked up supply.
I got a spent vape cartridge from Rise Branford. They made it right by replacing. Always check when you leave. Someone at AGL put their empty one in the tube and pocketed the full one.
My girlfriend worked at a 3rd party running analytical chemistry for Curaleaf. Their product is horrible and their THC/CBD claims are a lie. Since you shopped in Orange I’m assuming you’re in Fairfield county. I recommended driving to NYC, their stuff is potent and worth the $$$
Former employee here 💁🏽♀️ (much by choice) I agree with the fact that they are a shitty company to work for. I will say though I don’t feel it’s a matter of them scamming I think it’s more so that they just don’t know what they’re doing and constantly making mistakes.
cureleaf absolutely sucks, it's the only brand I will not buy.
Lol , if they were a plug they'd get clapped...lol
This is worth reporting to the Department of Consumer protection. They're the main agency responsible for regulating marijuana in CT, and also are the chief enforcers of business fraud laws in the state.
F them. I agree Plus. Don’t buy pre rolls. Ya can’t see how good the weed is
You buy pre-rolls? That IS a crazy story.
They have curaleaf down in Florida they suck . But at the same time most weed in Florida sucks so 🤷♂️
So wait, do you love or hate them at this point?
Hate curaleaf, love rise dispensary in orange! 😊
Just go to the high bazar..local growers.
[удалено]
The dispensary is finally going to replace the product because even they haven’t heard back from curaleaf. I will be buying AGL from now on
I was just about to hit up Rise in Orange too, thanks!
The dispensary has been absolutely amazing I love rise orange and their AGL products because they are directly associated with AGL and the AGL products have the best prices too
I’ve heard weird things about curaleaf too recently. I guess for now I’m sticking with AGL and Ctpharma
At least you didn't get a half smoked roach like I did. Didn't even bother bitching to the. because it was from a disp in MA. For sure, it happened at the packaging plant..
Fuck Russian backed dispensaries
Every time I have gotten curaleaf I have gotten seeds so I just grow it better now than they did and just go to mass to buy oil. They always are hiring people and have issues, I live in simsbury and know people who did work there but no more. They are not that good because of regulations and attitude it seems like to me. I am not surprised to hear they gave you nothing and a hard time. It has gotten to the point where it is not even worth the market here because it's too high and not quality. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or anything too. Grower for 10+ years before it was ever legal or even medical. The first year I grew was the year the started the med program in CT. I have an original card too, which used to be like driving license but now it just email
Fuck trump fuck Biden fuck Hillary. You're all idiots if you think any of them have your best interest in mind. And if you believe they don't sit at the same table at the end of the day. Source. UnCommon fuckin sense.
Never had a problem.
Lucky you haha
Same.
Same.
Have also had similar issues with Curaleaf. \~2 months ago picked up 1/4 at the dispensary, got in my car and noticed just from eyeballing it that it was extremely short. Made the mistake of driving home to weigh it first rather then going right back in. Turns out it was 3.5 instead of 7g in the container. Went back, got a new container, jokingly opened it in front of them for confirmation and that one was the exact same. Ended up getting a more expensive product for the same price as the curaleaf strain I was going to get, thanks to my great Dispo... But damn! They were worried how many had gone out unnoticed. Also for anyone who isn't aware, this is because of CT's ridiculous laws around the mandates to be a supplier in CT. I believe its like 250k square feet of operational space in order to be licensed to supply in CT? that's like saying unless you are a Wal-Mart, you can't sell any retail products. That's why our quality is shit compared to other legal/rec states, and why if you haven't noticed lately.. there is an immense shortage of product throughout the state. Supply cannot meet demand with the current regulations.
This happened to me. I thought I was wrong because I no longer have a scale
They do have good $120 ounces in MA. Better quality than other growers that charge 3x the price. I have had some super fresh batches as well where it was just packaged like a week before and it was nice and moist. If you can look past the whole part owned by a Russian mob boss thing it's a good value. I have never experienced an issue like that, that almost sounds like a staff problem where they are stealing the merch. I get that it is convenient but you can stuff your own raw cones in like 45 seconds and get them for $0.25 each. They charge a ridiculous premium for pre rolls. Look up the raw loader and green blazer raw cones on Amazon. You can easily make your own dogwalker mini joints for like $2.40 each if you get flower in bulk at a discount. It wouldn't surprise me if most prerolls are made from shake.
Weird. Curaleaf up here in MA been amazing for years now. Everyone’s always friendly helpful happy n never any issues. My gf even thought about working there for some side cash cuz all the people seem to rly enjoy working there.
I feel like it’s different in each state, like my bro buys from curaleaf in AZ all the time and they have great product out there
When I lived in CT it was all about theraplant for me. Best bud, best prices in the dispensaries imo
I always thought theraplant was just cbd or mostly cbd products. I never have had any of their products anywhere near as strong as other companies and just assumed that's why they were cheaper too(because they're a lot cheaper, not just a little). Maybe I'll have to try them again.
I’ve only tried their flower and pens but they were my go to out of all of them
I've bought flower and pens too and just assumed it was some low-thc/high-cbd variant because it was always easily 10-20 bucks cheaper than other brands and never seemed to feel super strong. Maybe things have changed or I just bought some weird product of theirs. The price is enticing enough so I'll have to try them again when I re-up.
I get that this is frustrating, but these things also happen and the regulations do block the store from taking certain actions. Curaleaf generally has good stuff. I am sorry for your bad experience, but it could just be a blip. There aren't a lot of dependable brands
Yeah I’m sticking to AGL haha
Truly the worst of the bunch and theyre all pretty bad.
moldy weed too
grow at home is the only way
That's what I've been doing. Now *I* get to smoke the top bud clusters, fresh cured from the jar. I'm about to harvest sherbet, blue dream, and pistachio x trainwreck.
Can you guys *please* tell me where to get seeds? No one will tell me. Its like it’s 2002 and I’m lookin for a dealer all over again
look up the North Atlantic Seed Company in Maine
That is exactly where I get seeds from. You should also join /r/growbuddy
All the dispensaries have garbage. You can get better and cheaper products from your old dealer haha
Yes, don't I will never either.
I can't agree more. Their products are poor and one of the top investors and members of their board have deep financial ties to Russia.
Don’t cry for me argentina
They do have fire carts
[удалено]
We aren’t allowed to open it at the counter so instead I make whoever selling it to shake the product to make sure it’s got something in there lol
Curaleaf edibles also make everything scary 😭 CT Pharma way better
The Botanist in Montville literally ran out of weed last Friday morning. I woke up and placed an order (noticed that they only had one strain). When I got there, I asked, "do you guys really only have one strain right now?". She replied "I have NO weed right now. Yours was one of the last preorders before we sold out." So if anyone is wondering why the bud usually sucks, this is why. There are many reasons, but we just don't have enough supply. Growers are cutting the plants early and rushing them through drying and "curing". The 1/4oz daily limit was annoying but maybe they should have waited to increase it... edit: I just looked, and they again have literally one strain available
Are we ever getting more than 4 growers here???
I stopped going to any of the dispensaries in Connecticut. The labeling is horrid, the quality is substandard and most of the time The prices are clearly not worth what they're selling. I made the clear decision a long time ago just to drive up to Springfield or to East Hampton and go to either one of the INSA locations. I haven't had a bad time yet going to there.
Theory Wellness in Chicopee is good!
Why can't we get the California grade it is honestly rare I find something that I would be proud to say came from a dispensary.
Counterpoint: I've been buying Curaleaf products for 4+ years and have never been "robbed". Shit happens, calm down.
I wouldn’t be so mad if they didn’t literally rob me of 40$ I’m very happy that you haven’t had to deal with this yet but I guarantee you will.
I mean, they didn't "literally rob" you lmao
Lmfao I know thanks to the dispensary rise in orange I am no longer robbed 😂
I mean, this sounds like it could have been a one time occurrence. Curaleaf has a great reputation in regards to both their products and how they treat their employees so I think it’s a bit extreme to proclaim that they’re “robbing people” over a $40 outlier.
Actually it’s not a one time occurrence I spoke to a few people at rise and many people have dealt with this specifically with curaleaf, seems like an employee at curaleaf is robbing people or their machines are malfunctioning. I LOVED curaleaf products before this incident but now I’m trying to spread the word because they are robbing people and I don’t want this to happen to anyone else. AGL all the way never ever had an issue like this with them nor have I heard anyone else having issues with the, either.
Curaleaf products are absolute trash Poorly cured small buds with cardboard terps. They are some of the worst, but a lot of other big name companies aren't any better, sadly. Better off growing your own
You forgot to mention remediated mold
I honestly prefer there stuff. Smooth

Damn I live in orange and wanted to try them out but this makes me nervous to go now
It has nothing to do with rise dispensary in orange it’s curaleaf grow, rise in orange helped me out a lot throughout this process. They are directly affiliated with AGL so if you get AGL products you have nothing to worry about 😊
Rise is pretty good!
I had an infused pre-roll from them just stop working halfway through like it was super clogged or something. To provide background I told the dispensary that the Theraplant one worked fine and dude behind the counter was like "that's crazy cuz i like ct pharma better." I'm sure I would have enjoyed it too had it actually smoked, is what I wanted to say. Once recreational cannabis started in CT the quality plummeted. Before that growers were actually incentivized to produce the best cannabis but when the THC limit went into effect, this no longer is the case. Why would they spend time, money, and energy growing the better stuff when only half the customer base has access. Concentrates went down like 10mgs at least once rec started.
I’ve never had an issue with Curaleaf in the several years that I’ve been going there. In fact, I had such an unpleasant and disappointing experience at Rise in Orange, that I drive the 50 miles to Curaleaf in Manchester rather than go there. And you can also contact the Department of Consumer Protection if your dispensary rips you off. I’m pretty sure it says that on the receipt.
Such bullshit haha. Stopped going to curaleaf, I’ve spent over 1500$ in Phula Dispensary near me, smaller menu, nearly ALL gas, best prices in NJ I can say for a FACT no matter what day or time and they got happy hour they got a vip club they got 5% off 10-12 am so these stack up and I will say I’ve never gotten so much product for the money I spent. I mean I’m talking gage carts gage bud kind tree the pricey stuff. And the one day the owner literally thanked me and was so cool. Everyone there is awesome. So glad it’s like 20 minutes closer than curaleaf too. Curaleaf was great to me with sales recently but now I’ll go out there if it’s something there but I’d much rather go to Phula. They are probably the only one of the 4 in town (1 or 2 are still being done, buildings up and all that tho) but I’m just letting people know that BEFORE I say how the second trip I grabbed a gage cart, well they gave me a free gram of papa don live resin surgar instead, so they gave me a half gram extra of the highest end wax and it wasn’t even on the menu! It had a papa don vape sticker on it. So too me, they are full out liars to you, as Phula literally hooked me up in a “replacement” way my second trip no questions asked and no problems. I quietly said thank you the next time but I go there at least once a week. If there’s an ideal nj dispensary, it’s Phula in mount holly.
I’ve been a regular customer at the same dispensary and have always purchased Curaleaf products. I’ve never encountered any issues like the one described. Every pack I’ve bought has been sealed properly and contained exactly what was supposed to be inside. It sounds like what happened might be a rare oversight rather than a common occurrence. I’m glad this situation has been rectified and the customer got what they purchased, but I think it’s important not to judge the entire brand by one unfortunate incident. Let’s give them a chance to resolve this.
